[Katamari] Leak thread, images of Panther, F8 Lightning and more - spoilers

But it wasn't just some assets i hear there were some missions of SQ42 on those files. Not to mention the Star Maps

Sunder....I will go with you. We will get them, or die trying. Repeatedly. Without fail!

Clearly we will fail but we die trying! We will inspire those who come after us opening up a door to even greater feats of fun!

At the end of the day, there are no serious repercussions, all they have lost is the ability to unveil this stuff in their own time with a bit of drama attached. It was a compiled build, no source code so no big deal. IMO they should be showing us all this WIP all the time anyway instead of being all hush about it.

I think you (and a lot of other people who have said this) are severely underestimating the value of generating hype at the proper time. Yes, this leak has sparked a whole lot of excitement and discussion in the community, but with no coinciding announcement or game update, that's really meaningless from a marketing perspective. With this leak they have lost a whole lot of ammunition that could have done a lot better things for the game had it been revealed at the proper time. In a week the hype will have faded out and it will have made no lasting impact on the community. I guarantee you that CIG are not viewing this as "not a big deal". Hopefully the lack of source code will make it not a big enough deal that bad things happen to Lando though. It was an honest if avoidable mistake.

Similarly, if they showed us all of their WIP stuff, there would be no reveals for them to make; no real way to make a big media splash. No mysteries for the community to discover in game. They've lost a lot of powerful storytelling material as well. Not to mention the issues with WIP things changing that others have brought up.

I have to say, having been on the other side of the curtain, a community's constant demands to see more when you're already showing a lot can be incredibly frustrating to a marketing/community person.

The Cleaver is a dangerous boarding pod. If you see a Cleaver that is spaceborne....BLAST IT.

So it's a Vanduul Caterpillar? I can get behind that!

What a fantastically mean looking ship.

Can't wait to crash into one!

Way smaller than a Caterpillar, bro. It's a boarding pod that is launched into the side of a ship, drills a hole, and opens.

Music for the FPS Module (WARNING WATCH/HEAR AT YOUR OWN RISK)

 

[thanatos73]

Some of it has a BSG feel......

 

[Semphis Rythorn]

Either way that music is fucking Eargasm

Thought #1 when I saw this ship: Reavers from Firefly series!

the vanduul kingship is one of the coolest things i've ever seen. it looks like a giant squid with a gigantic harpoon with rigging to mechanically capture capital ships.
